As a Clinical Research Technician in the Emergency Department at Riley Children's Hospital, I support ongoing research for the PediDOSE and Pedi-PART studies, which focus on pediatric seizure management and intubation-related care. My responsibilities include managing and organizing clinical data, tracking Paramedic Self-Report (PSR) submissions, and ensuring the accuracy and integrity of datasets used for analysis.

This role has deepened my understanding of pediatric emergency medicine and the critical role research plays in shaping evidence-based treatment protocols. By contributing to studies that aim to improve outcomes for critically ill children, I am gaining firsthand experience in how clinical research directly influences patient care in real-world settings.

In my role as Counter Help at Panda Express, I was responsible for greeting guests, accurately taking orders, and handling transactions in accordance with company cash-handling policies. With over five years of experience as a server, I have developed strong customer service and multitasking skills, especially in fast-paced and high-pressure environments.

Working at Panda Express has helped me build confidence in delivering excellent customer service. I’ve learned to communicate effectively with both customers and team members, allowing me to solve problems quickly and maintain a positive dining experience. This position has also challenged me to stay organized, adaptable, and solution-oriented during busy shifts.
